I don't know the last couple of major previews show.
00:00:49.805 --> 00:00:54.005
We haven't really done a lot of talking about the majors, so we'll see what's happening.
00:00:54.005 --> 00:00:54.787
But this is a good one.
00:00:54.787 --> 00:00:56.445

00:01:12.766 --> 00:01:19.783
About pinehurst, jeremy and I have only seen it from a far, far, far away television that in our living room.
00:01:19.802 --> 00:01:22.703
So uh, I played in 2019.
00:01:22.703 --> 00:01:24.846

00:01:25.146 --> 00:01:26.286
A little yep, yep, yep.
00:01:26.286 --> 00:01:28.046

00:03:09.543 --> 00:03:16.602
So before we get into, like the us open talk and our picks and all that stuff, um, oh, we got already got comments.
00:03:16.602 --> 00:03:19.347
Thanks for tuning in trade in the house.
00:03:19.347 --> 00:03:25.307
Um, so some business to get to beforehand, uh, or just other golf talk.
00:03:25.307 --> 00:03:34.929
Asides from the majors, the major that's happening this week um, I was out at chimera sunday.
00:03:34.929 --> 00:03:37.033
I had my personal best.
00:03:37.033 --> 00:03:38.556
I'm very happy about that.
00:03:38.556 --> 00:03:44.969
I thought I broke it, but math is hard and I'm a product of the clark county education system.
00:03:44.969 --> 00:03:49.625
So, uh, my, my numbers were off just just just by one.
00:03:49.625 --> 00:03:55.495
So, uh, I thought I had a putt for 74 and it was for 75.
00:03:55.514 --> 00:03:57.580
So, did you make it?
00:03:58.823 --> 00:04:01.828
I didn't make the putt for 74, but I didn't make the one for 75.
00:04:01.828 --> 00:04:05.974
So that's the third time I've tied my personal best.
00:04:05.974 --> 00:04:09.347
Just can't get over that 75 hump.
00:04:09.347 --> 00:04:09.929
But it's coming.
00:04:09.929 --> 00:04:11.492
I feel it it's coming.
00:04:11.492 --> 00:04:15.189
The game is trending and I'm excited about that.
00:04:15.189 --> 00:04:20.946
Joe got a new driver, even though he hasn't played golf in a couple months, what yeah?
00:04:25.324 --> 00:04:30.884
That was sort of spur the moment too, like I'm sure you had a plan, but it was just funny how it happened.
00:04:31.024 --> 00:04:32.949
I just I just been waiting for the right moment.
00:04:32.949 --> 00:04:35.064
I mean julian, who is listening?
00:04:35.064 --> 00:04:46.733
Uh, I went to see him at rio seco a couple months ago and, uh, I have a buddy, um, who has a hookup at calloway and I going to buy the head for like three 30 head only.
00:04:46.733 --> 00:04:55.870
But Matt also put something new in his bag and he was like, hey, go down there two times Tuesdays at the.
00:04:55.870 --> 00:04:56.110
Las.
00:04:56.151 --> 00:04:57.153
Vegas golf superstore.
00:04:58.401 --> 00:05:00.545
Yeah, double, double trading value.
00:05:00.545 --> 00:05:11.557
So if you go in there we love Las Vegas golf superstorestore, but they use a different system than callaway uses if you go to the website, I mean shout out the manager he's.
00:05:11.557 --> 00:05:12.220
He's awesome.
00:05:12.220 --> 00:05:13.543
I figured his name.
00:05:13.543 --> 00:05:14.504
I think his name's joe.
00:05:14.504 --> 00:05:15.548
Is it joe?
00:05:15.949 --> 00:05:19.841
I think it is joe let's call him I think it is brown hair guy, yeah yeah, yeah.
00:05:20.262 --> 00:05:24.805
So he he's like yeah, just, yeah, just give it to him, just make it $1 less.
00:05:24.805 --> 00:05:26.887
I'm like, oh yeah, that's cool.
00:05:26.887 --> 00:05:34.913
I mean he upgraded it like $49 for the trade-in, which ended up being like $100.
00:05:34.913 --> 00:05:36.434
So, yeah, I got a new driver.
00:05:36.434 --> 00:05:37.415
I think it's long overdue.
00:05:37.415 --> 00:05:38.334
More ball speed.
00:05:38.334 --> 00:05:39.735
Julian helped me with that.
00:05:39.735 --> 00:05:41.658
Works for Callaway.
00:05:41.658 --> 00:05:44.021
If you need fittings, hit up Julian.
00:05:44.021 --> 00:05:46.403
If you need his contact, let me know, I'll send it to you.
00:05:46.403 --> 00:05:48.547
All of us will send it to you, yeah.
00:05:48.747 --> 00:05:51.370
We all have it Top three fitter in Vegas.
00:05:51.831 --> 00:05:54.634
Yeah, he's great, um, but yeah, I finally did it.
00:05:54.634 --> 00:06:13.588
Uh, I just was waiting for the right moment and, uh, situation and he did it and I was like, hey, I got some old clubs that don't mean shit to me and they're beat up and double trading value, let's go so the rogue ST is gone.
00:06:14.305 --> 00:06:14.891
I traded rogue.
00:06:16.060 --> 00:06:16.322
ST.
00:06:16.322 --> 00:06:31.543
I traded my driver head, I swapped the shafts, and my old lob wedge and my forward rogue Callaway from four years ago and I got like 120 bucks for that.
00:06:31.603 --> 00:06:56.545
So and it was the deal was I'd have to be in that ship into the rocks, yeah, so this is only good through saturday, so I thought it was through july, july no, no, this, this double trade-in is only good oh, so yeah, it's like two times the amount of the trade-in, or something yeah, if you go, if you, the best thing to do is go to the callaway website and they, you can see it it says trade-in days right on there and you can pick your club and it's only good on ai smoke stuff.
00:06:56.545 --> 00:06:59.952
Uh, if you're buying ai smoke, not trading in.
00:06:59.973 --> 00:07:09.891
But if you're yeah, um, ai smoke only so, yeah, go onto their website, pick your clubs and it'll tell you right on there how much they'll give you for it.
00:07:09.891 --> 00:07:26.882
Double the value and uh yeah, I ended up getting the new three wood Uh yeah, and if, if, if it's if it's not, if it's not similar to what you see on that website, ask for the manager.
00:07:26.901 --> 00:07:27.925
He's really cool, um, and she almost didn't double it.
00:07:27.925 --> 00:07:28.829
I was like, aren't you guys doubling it now?
00:07:28.829 --> 00:07:29.512
And he's like he was right there.
00:07:29.533 --> 00:07:37.233
And she's like, yeah, he's like we're doubling so um, there was a guy in here earlier doing the same thing yeah, maybe I should have waited a day.
00:07:38.463 --> 00:07:41.189
Well, I was like, I was like I'll just send everything into callaway.
00:07:41.189 --> 00:07:47.386
And then I I was taking the heads off because I was going to walk out and I was like, oh well, shipping and all that stuff.
00:07:47.386 --> 00:07:48.382
So it worked out.
00:07:48.944 --> 00:07:51.927
Yeah, it makes me sad that Titleist doesn't do that ever.
00:07:51.927 --> 00:07:53.122
They never.
00:07:53.122 --> 00:07:55.528
There's no discounts, there's nothing with Titleist.
00:07:55.940 --> 00:07:57.487
They don't need to because they got fans like you.
00:07:58.281 --> 00:07:59.386
Yeah, they know their value.
00:08:00.961 --> 00:08:04.588
Taylor May does, everyone does Ping and Tylos don't do that.
00:08:08.379 --> 00:08:11.971
We need to help somebody in this group upgrade some irons.
00:08:11.971 --> 00:08:13.053
Who's that, daniel?
00:08:14.982 --> 00:08:16.307
I think Dan's working on iron.
00:08:16.307 --> 00:08:17.665
He's going to surprise us one day.
00:08:17.665 --> 00:08:19.367
He's just going to have a new set sitting in the bag.
00:08:19.762 --> 00:08:25.997
Surprise, motherfuckers, just make sure you get those 120x's.
00:08:29.600 --> 00:08:30.642
That was nice, but yeah, for uh it's.
00:08:30.642 --> 00:08:36.119
This is the first new club I've had in probably like two, two and a half years has it been that long?
00:08:36.119 --> 00:08:37.542
It's been a long time.
00:08:37.542 --> 00:08:41.688
No, you've got some you've got some mg4s I don't count wedges.
00:08:41.688 --> 00:08:43.270
I don't count wedges.
00:08:43.412 --> 00:08:45.455
Oh, I don't count wedges.
00:08:47.820 --> 00:08:48.160
Wedges.
00:08:48.160 --> 00:08:50.428
You should change out every year if you play a lot of golf.
00:08:51.860 --> 00:08:53.947
That's like you should change it out every golf.
00:08:54.059 --> 00:08:56.864
Yeah, if you play a lot of golf, change your wedges every year.
00:08:57.205 --> 00:09:00.750
Oh, I put the MG3s back in my bag and I'm like there's still a lot of grooves in these.
00:09:00.750 --> 00:09:07.623
I've never hit them before lot of grooves in these.
00:09:07.643 --> 00:09:08.364
I've never hit them before.
00:09:08.364 --> 00:09:09.105
That was always on the toe.
00:09:09.105 --> 00:09:10.688
Yeah, I have a brand.
00:09:10.710 --> 00:09:14.577
You know, I got a brand new lob wedge because that was the one I used the most.
00:09:14.597 --> 00:09:15.259
But all right, uh.
00:09:15.259 --> 00:09:26.022
So um, exciting news for joe, exciting news, for I got three ai smoke clubs in the bag now I got the driver, I got the three and I got the seven wood, so really happy with what callaway's doing with their fairy woods.
00:09:26.022 --> 00:09:28.368
I think they're outstanding right now.
00:09:28.548 --> 00:09:30.072
So that's matching.
00:09:30.072 --> 00:09:31.120
Matt's matching.
00:09:31.120 --> 00:09:36.856
Just like fourth of july matt's matching yeah and uh, the what it?
00:09:37.076 --> 00:09:39.842
I don't think in memorial day I don't think I'll ever get rid of that.
00:09:39.842 --> 00:09:41.385
Them five wood, though.
00:09:41.385 --> 00:09:44.091
That thing is just it's still out.
00:09:44.110 --> 00:09:45.153
Yeah, I still got that.
00:09:45.153 --> 00:09:47.081
It's so good it's so good.
00:09:47.302 --> 00:09:54.386
So, uh, joe and myself have both been going and seeing dr dumbler joe's been working on his hand.
00:09:54.506 --> 00:09:55.831

Uh really enjoy going there and and joe said this the first time we're talking about it it's.
00:10:04.863 --> 00:10:17.448
It's nice going in and seeing golf stuff on the walls and knowing he's a golfer and there was two guys in the lobby that were golfers and we were talking while I was waiting, so it's a really great experience.
00:10:17.448 --> 00:10:24.669
He's Titleist TPI certified, so if you're in, I'll put links to him in the show notes again.
00:10:24.669 --> 00:10:31.491
So if anybody's needing some uh, some uh physical, uh attention, uh, he is the man to go see.

Jeremy, how was Utah?
00:11:05.595 --> 00:11:07.035
Utah was good.
00:11:08.340 --> 00:11:16.490
Yeah, it was a quick trip, but I made sure to play Gladstand, mostly so I could take the opportunity to harass Trey.
00:11:16.490 --> 00:11:23.179
Every time I go there I think about that, so I just like searching around.
00:11:23.220 --> 00:11:24.485
I'm never going to live there.
00:11:25.206 --> 00:11:28.445
No, you're not, but yeah, it was good.
00:11:28.445 --> 00:11:35.125
The course is in like amazing condition because it's been sort of a longer winter so they've had a lot of moisture and it's just pure.
00:11:35.125 --> 00:11:44.028
So it's always nice to get up there and pay 60 bucks for 18 in a car we'll be up there next week.

00:12:20.344 --> 00:12:29.350
But once I saw the pictures I was like holy shit I mean, that's that's farm country, that's that's cows and horses, that's I was, it's it like reminding me it's not park city.
00:12:29.350 --> 00:12:43.591
Yeah they're reminding me of promontory yeah, for sure erica, his mom had a friend that lived in colville and we stayed up there one time and and uh, I mean it's, it's, it's up there's it's out of the Valley.
00:12:43.671 --> 00:12:47.205
So that's going to be nice, nice, nice track to check out.
00:12:47.205 --> 00:12:49.043
So, uh, okay.
00:12:49.043 --> 00:12:51.809
And then let's see, I got two, three more things, um.
00:12:51.809 --> 00:13:04.451
So uh, played legacy Friday morning and had an a God awful experience and I feel really bad because I know they're trying really hard to do some things.
00:13:04.451 --> 00:13:10.625
They got a new superintendent, they got some new grounds crew people and they're trying.
00:13:10.625 --> 00:13:13.261
I give them credit, they are trying, they.
00:13:13.261 --> 00:13:15.568
They try to get a lot of the turf out of there.
00:13:15.568 --> 00:13:18.509
But summer started hitting, they had to change.
00:13:18.509 --> 00:13:32.967
They had a bunch of irrigation issues, but I've been talking with Trey there, told me that they have dumped a ton of money into the irrigation system to get the course back to good turf.
00:13:32.988 --> 00:13:36.639
Uh, they are incredibly looking forward to the fall where they can get the overseed in there, but right now they're.
00:13:36.639 --> 00:13:50.427
They're between their winter greens and their summer greens and the heat came really fast and the bermuda is coming through really quick and the old stuff hasn't died off as fat or gone dormant as fast as they liked it to.
00:13:50.427 --> 00:13:52.120
So the greens were a mess.
00:13:52.120 --> 00:13:53.711
I mean it was.
00:13:53.711 --> 00:13:57.827
It was bad, um, so, uh, we were.
00:13:57.827 --> 00:13:59.232
I mean there was.
00:13:59.232 --> 00:14:05.446
We were the first group out and we went out at five, 50, maybe five 40 even.
00:14:05.446 --> 00:14:12.336
And, uh, we caught the mower on the fourth hole and we were the first group out and we went out at five, 50, maybe five 40 even.
00:14:12.336 --> 00:14:17.880
And uh, we caught the mower on the fourth hole and he was just mowing the greens and uh, they were.
00:14:17.900 --> 00:14:27.830
Trey told me afterwards that they're doing, uh, uh, two cuts where they were dumping the bag twice, uh, getting getting the long grass down, but the guy would not, would not, get off the green.
00:14:27.830 --> 00:14:33.690
He, we, he pulled the flag and we're in the middle of the fairway, so we got no idea where the pin is.
00:14:33.690 --> 00:14:42.485
Um, and then he was mowing forever, and then he he'd go put the flag in and leave, like, okay, so we hit to the green, play, go the next hole, and he's on the green again.
00:14:42.485 --> 00:14:44.211
It's like good lord.
00:14:44.211 --> 00:14:53.724
And so, on the part, the part three, we just we hit while he was mowing onto the green and like, hey, you know, stop, dude, just take five, let us play through.
00:14:54.385 --> 00:14:56.672
Next hole, he was on the green, next hole he's on the green.
00:14:56.672 --> 00:14:59.785
And finally we stopped the marshals like look, dude's got to stop.
00:14:59.785 --> 00:15:10.186
And we were hoping, we were hoping that they send a guy out on one and a guy out on 10 to cut the green, but they didn't, they just sent one guy out.
00:15:10.186 --> 00:15:17.881
So, uh, the nine green through 18 was like shag carpet, I mean it was.
00:15:18.283 --> 00:15:32.431
It was rolling like a four so bgc said uh, he's had several people reach out about um asking why legacy is so bad right now, because he's recommended them in the past and yeah, it's, it's give it another week it's.
00:15:32.431 --> 00:15:35.124
It's been like, uh, it's been interesting.
00:15:35.124 --> 00:15:40.743
Right like a year ago it was just trash garbage and that, and then they started getting better.
00:15:40.743 --> 00:15:46.638
And then you know it's back in the day it was, it was the spot to play.
00:15:46.778 --> 00:15:47.900
So yeah, they.
00:15:47.900 --> 00:15:52.817
They went through some financial issues, they were struggling homeowner battle.
00:15:53.158 --> 00:15:55.344
They were trying to take the golf course away from the homeowners.
00:15:55.465 --> 00:15:59.039
So revere the company that runs revere took it over.
00:15:59.039 --> 00:16:03.323
Um, they, they got a new range machine and you don't got to go inside to get range balls anymore.
00:16:03.323 --> 00:16:04.904
It's outside, right next to the range.
00:16:04.904 --> 00:16:06.287
So that's nice.
00:16:06.287 --> 00:16:10.769
Um, the, it's going to be good.
00:16:10.769 --> 00:16:13.393
It's going to be good, it's just going to take.
00:16:13.393 --> 00:16:16.335
It's just going to take a little time, and they and they got to get through summer.
00:16:16.335 --> 00:16:26.551
So I mean, it's, it's, I think from T to green it's okay, it's not great, it's definitely not worth what they're charging right now, but everybody's charging crazy rates right now.
00:16:26.551 --> 00:16:28.193
So I'm sure they're part of the.
00:16:28.193 --> 00:16:29.034
Why not us?
00:16:29.034 --> 00:16:29.902
Uh?
00:16:29.902 --> 00:16:39.049
But yeah, the greens are are a little, but the green he told me that the green should be back by next weekend, like father's day weekend.
00:16:39.049 --> 00:16:45.360
After that the green should be fine, the bermuda will all be in and they'll be able to, you know, maintain them a lot better.
00:16:45.360 --> 00:16:49.729
So if that's true and the greens are okay, then then awesome course.
00:16:50.090 --> 00:16:51.852
So yeah, henderson is.
00:16:51.852 --> 00:17:06.631
Uh, I think henderson's dying for another golf course outside of yeah you know, outside of revere and rio chimera um there was another one and they took it away.
00:17:06.651 --> 00:17:07.412
yeah, Black Mountain?
00:17:07.412 --> 00:17:07.813
Was there?
00:17:08.834 --> 00:17:10.675
Shit, I don't even know, never heard of that one.
00:17:10.980 --> 00:17:12.243
They built houses on the falls.
00:17:13.689 --> 00:17:15.305
Yeah, downtown Henderson was.
00:17:15.305 --> 00:17:26.006
I know that Stallion Mountain is not Henderson, but it's Henderson adjacent, but I've never played there.
00:17:26.006 --> 00:17:28.248
However, glenn told me it's.
00:17:28.248 --> 00:17:34.490
I am very wary of this statement when somebody tells me it, but Glenn told me it yeah.
00:17:34.490 --> 00:17:36.426
Great layout or great routing.
00:17:37.019 --> 00:17:44.112
I have, you know, I have, hey, that's from the tips that's a big boy golf course.
00:17:44.112 --> 00:17:52.011
From the tips, they've been putting in a lot of work there and when they get to that point, it's going to be a good spot.
00:17:52.279 --> 00:18:01.111
I've had a couple people tell me lately that it is in really good shape right now, so they have to head out there and check it out.
00:18:01.660 --> 00:18:02.544
I love Naima.
00:18:02.544 --> 00:18:03.267
I think it's fun.
00:18:03.780 --> 00:18:06.382
Trey, that course hosted a pga tour event back in the day.
00:18:06.402 --> 00:18:14.311
Yeah, back in the day yeah, it was the old las vegas open or whatever it was las vegas invitational yeah, it was a country club back then.
